Under Selma Municipal Code Section 8-1-8, every residence and commercial establishment in Selma must subscribe to solid waste collection service from the city-contracted hauler, Mid Valley Disposal. Unauthorized disposal of solid waste is prohibited, including dumping on vacant lots, streets, alleys, or public places. The city provides three-cart service: gray for landfill waste, blue for commingled recyclables, and green for organic waste including food scraps, yard trimmings, and food-soiled paper products under SB 1383 compliance effective January 2022. Pickup days vary by location and can be determined by entering your address on the city service map. Residential customers are billed through property tax statements while commercial customers receive separate invoices. Residents with disabilities who cannot move their carts to the curb may apply for the Disability Roll-Out Trash Collection Service through a formal request form.
Failure to subscribe to mandatory collection service or unauthorized disposal of solid waste violates SMC 8-1-8. No person shall burn solid waste in a furnace, fireplace, or wood stove except nonplasticized wastepaper for kindling. Infractions carry fines up to $100 for a first offense, $200 for a second within one year, and $500 for subsequent violations.
